The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Greater Accra vice chair Eric Nartey Yeboah who was ‘fingered’ in a cocaine smuggling case has been reinstated at the Kotoka International Airport.
The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) Saff was alleged to have aided with the help of a NACOC female officer in the smuggling of some 8.5 kilograms of cocaine on March 23, 2024 which was busted at the Brussel Airport in Belgium.
In a CCTV footage, the NPP man was captured distracting the Aviation Security Personnel from paying attention to Praeger Delgey Bianca’s presence. He was interdicted together with another staff who was also implicated.
However, Kwaku Asiamah, the transport minister appearing before the Government Assurances Committee sitting in Parliament in Accra, yesterday, Thursday, October 10, 2024. confirmed their reinstatement to work
He said, “No they are not on interdiction. They have been cleared. Maybe per our code of conduct, per our standards maybe they were not culpable…We did so the report came, and we said that they were not culpable and the fact that they were not culpable does not mean that they slept on their job.”
